Making of the Modern Web
/ Upson, Linus (speaker) (Verily - Google)
The web was built by people, and people often do interesting, creative, surprising, inexplicable and sometimes just silly things. What did Steve Jobs think when he first saw the web? How did Netscape really lose the browser war with Microsoft? How did Chrome manage to succeed against Internet Explorer? Where will the web go from here?

The Principals and Practice of Distributed High Throughput Computing
/ Dr. Livny, Miron (speaker) (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
The potential of Distributed Processing Systems to deliver computing capabilities with qualities ranging from high availability and reliability to easy expansion in functionality and capacity were recognized and formalized in the 1970’s. For more three decade these principals Distributed Computing guided the development of the HTCondor resource and job management system [...] 2016 - Streaming video.

Computer Security in 2016: Where are we and what to expect
/ Lopienski, Sebastian (speaker) (CERN)
Attacks against computer systems, belonging both to individuals and
organisations, are an everyday reality. How many times have we heard about
supposedly well protected companies and online services at the mercy of
cyber criminals, or governments accusing other nation states of cyber
espionage. [...] 2016 - Streaming video.
